Jan Yoors (1922-1977) - Cobalt Mountain

Jan Yoors – “Cobalt Mountain” (1977)
Screen print on high-quality linen-like paper – signed and numbered (41/100)

A particularly powerful and rare screen print by Jan Yoors, an artist whose work sits at the crossroads of abstraction, photography, and textile sensibility.

This work, titled “Cobalt Mountain” (1977), shows a monumental, almost totemic form in deep black, sharply defined against an intense cobalt-blue background. The composition is minimalist yet loaded: a play of mass, void, and tension typical of Yoors’ later oeuvre.

Printed on heavy, linen-like paper with a rich texture that adds depth and tactility to the image. Bottom left hand-signed by the artist, bottom right numbered 41/100. At the bottom, the pencil title and dating are provided.

Why this work is interesting:
Yoors’ work is internationally valued and resides in important collections. His graphics from the 1970s are relatively scarce on the market, especially in this quality with full signature and numbering. The combination of deep color contrasts and a tactile support makes this a visually strong and collectible piece.

A distinctive work that easily holds its own in both modern and classical collections.
